Cool north-westerlies is not what we want at this time of the year. Saying that a respectable number of migrants knocking about including 10 Willows, 7 Wheatear, 6 Whitethroat, 5 Blackcaps, 4 Chiffs, 3 Lesser 'throats, Robin, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Nightingale & Skylark. On the move offshore not a lot with 5 Golden Plover south the highlight. Going south overhead 28 Swallows, 27 Goldfinch, 2 Sand Martin, 2 Rook, 2 Jackdaw & 2 Yellow Wags. Late news concerns 2 Honey Buzzards north over the dock in the afternoon.

20 birds ringed: 8 Willows, 5 Blackcap, 3 Whitethroat, 2 Linnets, Lesser 'throat & Chiffchaff.
